New Jams for Summer 2013

I am sorry for the long delay but Dj Blufire is back.  It has been a beautiful summer and I have been enjoying myself I hope you all have been too.

This has been a HUGE summer for hip hop.  There have been multiple big album releases everyone from Jay-Z to J. Cole and Kanye.  There has also been some under the radar songs and mixtapes released.

In this blog I will run through some of my favorite songs so far this summer.  What new music have you been jamming to this summer? Let me know in the comment section.


Crown- Jay-Z



A great beat and a diss to super sports agent Scott Boras what's not to like?


Fuckwithmeyouknowigotit- Jay-Z ft. Rick Ross



I didn't expect Rick Ross to be on Jay-Z's new album MCHG but it made my favorite song on the album.


When I Feel Like It- Fabolous ft. 2 Chainz


I blog, when I feel like it!


Been On- Chantel West Coast ft. French Montana

When I first found out this was blonde girl who is on those shows on MTV with Rob Dyrdek I was very skeptical.  With the help of French Montana the song goes hard (HAAAAAA). Her new mixtape is actually not bad with the help of good production and good features.  Apparently she's signed to Young Money....


Welcome To The Party- Party Next Door


So far this has been the mixtape I can't stop listening to.  Party Next Door is a group from Canada and an artist Drake recently signed to his OVOXO label.  After listening to the group people will make unfair comparisons to the Weeknd.  Party Next Door has it's own sound with a combination of rapping and singing.  Check out their debut mixtape here!

She Knows- J. Cole


J. Cole drops a song with an interesting sample on this song.  In the song J. Cole explains trying living up to expectations of women.  Side note this is a must see hilarious video from J. Cole.


Movies- Mac Miller


Mac Miller dropped a good album that was overshadowed by Kanye and J. Cole's albums.  This song features an erie beat that you might hear in an old time horror movie. 

"People worship these idols to they come in contact with gods"

Black Skinhead- Kanye West


I'm still not sure how I feel about Yeezus... Since it's come out I've only listened to it a handful of times because there's been other music to come out recently that I've enjoyed more.  Nevertheless the beat to Black Skinhead is ridiculous, it contains tribal chants and drums.  It's a unique song that we've come to expect from Mr. West.


Don't Think They Know- Chris Brown ft. Aaliyah


This is a jam.  The song samples an old Jon B song from back in the day.  It's also interesting to watch the video and see Aaliyah pulling a "Tupac" by being a hologram.


Michael- The Dream

In this world I know a couple things to be true. The sky is blue and the Dream knows how to make great R&B songs.  This is my favorite song off his album IV Play.


Thank you for checking out my blog!  Look for more blogs soon.  If you have any feedback let me know in the comments section.

THE LIFE IS SO EXCITING

The Rise of Future Hendrix

Image
About five years ago a friend told me to download the Pulto mixtape by Future. I was familiar with him from the couple of singles he had but had never listened to a full mixtape/album of his. The mixtape was filled with numerous autotuned filled ballads as well as high-energy bangers. I enjoyed the majority of the songs and something about Future's energy was extremely infectious. Fast forward to two years ago and Future solidified himself as one of my favorite rappers. In the span of less than a year Future released five projects: Monster/Beast Mode/56 Nights/Dirty Sprite 2/What a Time to be Alive. The numerous hits and anthems that came were tremendous from March Madness to Thought It Was a Drought every hip hop fan knew every word. Fast forward to this week I was extremely excited to learn that Future would release two albums in one week. With little to no warning, Future dropped the self-titled album FUTURE. The album is high energy with catchy hooks and fast-paced beats

What's better I Need a Girl Part 1 or Part 2?

Image
In the year 2001 P Diddy released the two-part song I Need a Girl. Both songs have a clear distinct sound while being equally fire. Below I will do my best to articulate what separates the two parts of I Need a Girl and which is better. Part 1 P Diddy featuring Usher and Loon A slow pure r&b track with very little bass. Usher kills this song, he even sings over himself in the chorus. Part 2  P. Diddy featuring Loon, Ginuwine & Mario Winans For all you young kids out there this is what a true remix or part two looks like. Using the same theme/melody but flipping it to creating a new song. This part features more an of a hip hop vibe with verses and an r&B chorus. Who can forget Diddy's classic "take that, take that" What part of I Need a Girl is better? In my humble opinion, it has to be part 2. The combination of the bounce in the bass and melody drop will make anyone lose it. You also get what is most likely P Diddy's best l

Drake's Hidden Gems

Image
Aubrey Grahm aka Drizzy aka October's Very Own aka Drake is no doubt a superstar. He has transitioned from child actor to a rapper on Lil Wayne's Young Money label to an icon. His music has become anthems for months and he recently hosted SNL. With this level of popularity, it's hard to imagine his music being anything close to hidden but there are a lot of great songs from Drake you may have missed. I remember listening to Ransom feat. Lil Wayne in my 98 Jetta in 2008 as a Senior in high school via cassette adapter. I am going to try and introduced your or reintroduce you to some great Drake songs you may have glossed over or simply missed. Little Bit feat. Lykke Li Check out this chill love song featuring singer Lykke Li.  I'm Still Fly One of Drake's best early songs. Stuntin' feat Lil Wayne This is a song off of Lil Wayne's Dedication 3 when we didn't know much about Drake. Congratulations Drake does a verse over some Coldpa
